Chapter 1
Rain was pouring down from the blackening clouds. Muddy puddles dotted the ground as Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko, Sanosuke and Megumi ran through the storm, trying desperately to seek shelter. A bolt of lightning cracked overhead, followed by a low rumble of thunder. The winds were beginning to pick up; they were howling.
As the rest of the group ran ahead, Sanosuke slipped to a halt before the entrance to a cave. The cave was large with a pitch black opening. There was no way to peer inside of it, for the darkness proved to be too thick. However, a grin formed on the gangster's face and he hollered back to his friends.
"Hey, guys! I think I found a place we could stay until this storm lets up! Whatdya think?"
Immediatly, the group was by Sanosuke's side and were looking into the cave. Doubtful looks washed over each one of their faces. Kaoru hissed, "You idiot! It's too dark in there! There's no way I'm staying here!"
"Sessha agrees," commented Kenshin, sweatdropping. "It is far too dark to be staying in a cave such as this, that it is. I believe it would be best if we were to find someplace else."
"But..." Sanosuke was baffled by his friend's disagreements.
"I don't know about you," Yahiko put in, picking at his ear nonchalantly. "But, I'd rather go with Kenshin's idea than yours. No offense, Sano."
"I agree!" Megumi exclaimed. She glared with annoyance at Sanosuke. "Besides, you've gotten us into a lot of trouble with your poor sense of direction, let alone lack of instinct."
"HEY! SINCE WHEN-"
Lightning cracked and the thunder roared viciously. The storm was beginning to grow worse with each passing second. There was no other options. "See? We have to go in, or we'll get drenched and catch pneumonia, baka's!" pointed out Sanosuke, frustrated. Everyone casted eachother glances filled with uncertainty. However, a final flash of lightning and another wild thunder rumble made up their minds.
And so, everyone hurried into the dark recesses of the cave, the shadows swallowing them inside.
